Description
A rare opportunity to own one of Northern Virginia's most distinctive custom residences. This pioneering LEED-certified home was originally featured in The Washington Post for its groundbreaking design and environmental stewardship. This extraordinary custom build, on a gorgeous 0.47 acre lot steps from Kent Gardens ES, was thoughtfully designed as a home that would remain relevant for decades to come. The result is a timeless architectural statement where exceptional design, sustainable innovation, and everyday livability converge. Situated on a private, wooded lot, the home unfolds along a dramatic 85-foot visual axis. From the moment you enter, your eye is drawn through the angled gallery corridor to a breathtaking wall of glass framing uninterrupted treetop views beyond. Inspired by the unique geometry of the site, the home's striking design incorporates a subtle six-degree orientation that maximizes natural light, solar exposure, and the connection to nature. The residence seamlessly blends a reimagined original structure with a spectacular modern addition connected by a glass enclosed bridge. This thoughtful design creates distinct yet harmonious living spaces, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, home offices, creative pursuits, or private retreats. At the heart of the home, soaring ceilings and walls of glass define the grand living spaces. The two-story living room rises nearly 19 feet and is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, while oversized Windsor windows and premium sliding glass doors flood the interior with natural light. Oak floors, custom millwork, designer lighting, and bespoke cabinetry elevate every space. The chef's kitchen is a masterclass in form and function, featuring imported Pedini cabinetry, a substantial center island, custom drawer systems, Bosch double wall ovens, a Miele gas cooktop, Thermador refrigeration, appliance garage, pull-out pantry storage, and integrated ceiling speakers. Multiple rooms open directly to the expansive IPE hardwood deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. The upper-level primary suite serves as a private sanctuary overlooking the surrounding canopy. Vaulted ceilings, custom shades, three fully built-out closets, and a luxurious spa bath featuring a Lotti double vanity, heated floors, fully tiled walls, and a jetted soaking tub create a true retreat. An upper level home office equipped with built-in book cases and storage cabinets could also be suitable as a bedroom. The original front wing offers remarkable flexibility in spaces. There are two bedrooms, one with a kitchenette-equipped suite, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and abundant built-in storage. A dedicated gym/bedroom with exterior access, extensive storage areas, and a two-car garage further enhance the home's functionality. What truly sets this residence apart, however, is its commitment to sustainable living. As one of the region's earliest LEED-certified homes, it incorporates advanced energy-efficient systems including solar thermal panels, radiant heated floors, gas backup heating, whole-house HEPA air filtration, high-performance insulation, and environmentally conscious building materials. The solar-driven radiant heating system provides an unmatched level of comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption. Recent updates include a new HVAC system serving the front portion of the home (2024), professionally serviced mechanical systems, refinished IPE decking, and meticulous ongoing maintenance throughout. This special home is a living expression of thoughtful design, innovation, and enduring quality. A truly one-of-a-kind offering in the heart of McLean in the sought after school pyramid of Kent Gardens ES (steps away!!), Longfellow MS and McLean HS.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a second grader at this school and we have had a wonderful experience at Kent Gardens. The principal is about as engaged as can be and many of the teachers are long-time veterans who are so skilled at what they do, but also still have the passion after so many years of teaching. We have been thrilled with the teachers who go above and beyond. We have regular communication with them and I really get the sense that they care. Even though the French immersion classes are rather large in comparison with non-immersion classes (both at KT and other schools), they have extra help in the classroom and no one gets left behind. My child has attention deficit challenges and her teachers recommended her for special education. My child has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and we think the special education chair and her staff are really wonderful and supportive. When my child was testing behind the mark, the school rallied and organized small group work during 'PRIDE' time, set up the goals for improvement, worked with a counselor to learn some time management type skills during special lunch sessions and we supported as much as we could at home. My child had incredible growth in a very short time because of this.The school promotes respect, inclusion, diversity, and kindness. They have green, yellow, red, etc. houses representing different values that they promote and the kids and teachers are really enthusiastic about this. They also have a 'buddy system' pairing younger kids with older kids at the school, which has been a hit. Sixth graders are often put in leadership positions at the school and it is fun to see them thrive. I disagree with previous commenter about a 'toxic' environment. I haven't seen that at all. This school is special and the French immersion program is such a great offering. 5 stars!Parent Review2mo ago - Longfellow Middle School
